Front Frame Location
Front of compressor section
Front Frame Description
Welded steel ring that houses inlet guide vanes
Inlet Guide vanes
hollow to allow for hot air from engine to circulate through the vanes to prevent ice from forming
also provides lubrications oil to and from main bearing
Air Inlet Duct
Preswirls front frame in direction of rotation of engine compressor rotor to prevent shock
Compressor section Location
Between front frame and combustion section
Compressor consist of
Casing, rotor assembly, stator assembly, exit guide vane assembly, and diffuser
Compressor Section main purpose
supplies air in sufficient quanitities to satisfy the requirements of the combustion section
Compressor section purpose,cont.
Heating/as cabin pressurization cooling of engine cavities pressurization of fuel cells and transfer of fuelk anti-icing oil seal pressurization
Compressor section os of the axial flow type
Compressor section os of the axial flow type
axial flow compressor
compresses air in direction that is parallel to axis of engine
axial flow compressor consists
alternating series of rotating airfoils(blads) and stationary airfoils(stator vanes)
axial flow compressor casing
houses the stator assemblies
provides mountaing pads for accessories and bleed air ports.
axial flow compressor rotor assembly consist of
Shaft, disks, blades
blades are attached to compressor disk by dove tail, bulb, or fir tree root. locked in place by peening pins locking wires or keys
axial flow compressor rotor assembly blades are made of
stainless steel, aluminum, or titanium
axial flow compressor stator assembly consist of
stationary vanes dove-tailed into split0rings and mounted to compressor casing.
axial flow compressor stator assembly banes are made from
aluminum titatnium or staineless steel
exit guide vanes location
at compressor exit
exit guide vanes are
stationary vanes that straighten air to eliminate turbulence
diffuser located
part of compressor section
diffuser forms
the compressor rear frame
diffuser develops
a pressure wall to prevent reverse flow of combustion gases back into compressor
high pressure point
diffuser
types of axial flow compressor
single and dual
advantage of axial flow compressor(compared to centrifugal cflow compressor)
high peak efficiencies
small frontal area
